This article was initially baffling to me. There's no link to the API or libraries, or functions or whatever the hell the author is talking about, so since I'm not following all this stuff closely, I don't know if this is a proposed change to JavaScript or an external library or what. So then I go here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... and realize that it's an experimental proprosal for ES6, which means it's going to be a while before I can even think about using this. Then I realize the MDN article actually explained proxies and what they're designed for way better than this article (they're meant as a functional hook when manipulating properties on an object). It has useful, non-contrived examples that illustrate better than this article why you'd want this in the spec.
